Last week, GAI’s VP @seamusbruner revealed to Josh Hawley that the anti-ICE groups in Minnesota and their affiliates have received over $60 million from a vast network of Dark Money NGOs. x.com/HawleyMO/statu… It's time to take a look under the hood of this machine. 🧵👇

h/t @samuelqschaefer for the great work on CHIRLA and the Mobile Voting Center in LA!

During the 2024 election, CHIRLA placed a Mobile Voting Center in the heart of an LA migrant hub, notably, right near the Mexican Consulate. They have run anti-ICE rallies, deployed legal observers at ICE operations, and pushed voter outreach in immigrant communities.

Previously, I outlined Xavier Becerra’s ties to the Mexican Consulate in Sacramento as well as a consulate-linked migrant NGO tied to the Becerra family. In Part 3, we'll see how these connections are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Becerra’s foreign ties. 🧵

The record is clear: Becerra sits at the nexus of Mexico's US infrastructure and California's most powerful migrant NGO networks. His alliances and his family's career trajectory align consistently with Mexico's US agenda. But Why? What's the endgame? Part 4 has the answer.

CARECEN has spent years working with Mexico on citizenship workshops, immigration classes with Consul Generals, and other events. In August 2014, Becerra spoke at CARECEN about asylum policy. Days later, Mexico's Consul General appeared at the same organization for a workshop.

EXCLUSIVE: Are Chinese birth tourism centers hiding in your neighborhood? We went to find out. Texas has sued Houston-based De’Ai Postpartum Care Center, accusing the operation of exploiting birthright citizenship by helping Chinese nationals travel to the U.S. “for the sole purpose of giving birth.” The lawsuit alleges the scheme facilitated the births of more than 1,000 U.S.-born babies. At one of the alleged homes, a man named in the lawsuit (Lai Wan Lin-Chan) answered the door wearing a “Make America Cowboy Again” shirt, refused to answer questions, and said he needed a lawyer before shutting the door. As we were leaving, he came back outside, started recording us, and demanded my ID.

But CRLAF is just one example of the Consulate-linked NGOs in Becerra's orbit. He has maintained long, personal, and documented relationships with several others showing the same pattern, including some of the most powerful migrant NGOs in the country. Stay tuned for Part 3.

After leaving CRLAF, Clarissa became director at CBDIO — a group that co-hosted Mexican Consulate events alongside that same CVIIC. As part of her work there, she helped organize "civic participation" workshops for immigrants in California. As I said, these ties run deep.

Xavier Becerra is now the frontrunner for California governor. In Part 1, we showed how he used his office to help a convicted cartel-linked drug trafficker walk free... AFTER the man’s father donated to his campaigns. But Becerra’s foreign ties don’t end with the cartels..🧵
